FEEF delivers $80,000 for technology in schools

Answering a request for more technology in schools, Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation presented a check for $80,000 to Fairhope public school principals on Tuesday. The funding purchased portable iPad Learning Labs for grades K through 8. Those labs will be up and running in January. It also provides professional development for all Fairhope teachers, including in-depth technology training for Fairhope High School teachers as they transition to the school system's Digital Renaissance program.

FEEF's signature fundraiser, ARTechology, Phantasy of the Arts 2012, held in October, generated the dollars for the technology purchase. "This initiative would not be possible without the hard work of many volunteers and the generous support of sponsors in our community," said FEEF Executive Director Cori Yonge. "We are grateful so many individuals believe in giving to our public schools so that our children may have the best education possible."
